What are the sailing conditions in Lavrion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sailing conditions include a N to NW prevailing wind averaging force 3 to 4. The Cyclades features the northerly meltemi wind, which peaks in July and August at force 5-7, sometimes, force 9. So you will need to be an experienced sailor to sail the meltemi. Or you can hire a skipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware of three reefs found to the north, middle and south of Makronisos Island and two reefs close to the mainland (Cape Sounio and Ali Pasas). There is heavy traffic in this area from steamers, fishing vessels and sailing yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When returning to base, go stern to or bow to and use the mooring lines, not your anchor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
